Body Discovered In Canal

A fisherman looking for a place to drop his line discovered a man floating in a canal near the 2200 block on Hillsboro Beach Boulevard on Sunday, according to the Broward Sheriff`s Office.

Sheriff`s spokesman George Crolius said the body was discovered about 4 p.m. in the unincorporated area near Deerfield Beach. It apparently had been in the water for two or three days, he said. The Broward Medical Examiner`s Office and sheriff`s detectives are investigating.

``There was no immediate sign of foul play -- no wounds or anything like that,`` Crolius said.

The victim carried no identification but appeared to be in his mid- to late 20s, Crolius said. He was wearing a black shirt with flower prints, blue jeans and brown boots. The man was about 5-feet-10 with brown hair and a moustache.
